A mask, a motive, and a trail of bodies—this is the chilling truth behind Mexico’s most unexpected serial killer.

She walked into their homes wearing a nurse’s badge, but left behind only silence.

In this haunting episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we uncover the disturbing true story of Juana Barraza—Mexico’s infamous “Little Old Lady Killer.” A woman fueled by rage, trauma, and a lifetime of betrayal. But was she born a monster… or made into one?

This is a case where justice meets psychology.
 Where the mask of kindness hid a dark and violent compulsion.
 And where one woman’s childhood pain turned into a series of cold, calculated murders.

This week, we explore:

  • How Juana’s early life was shaped by abandonment, abuse, and neglect
  • The complex connection between her past trauma and her crimes
  • Why elderly women became her targets—and what their deaths symbolized
  • Her double life as a professional wrestler… and a serial killer
  • The moment it all came crashing down—and the trial that followed
  • A deeper look into the question: Did we create her?

Juana Barraza wasn’t just a murderer.
 She was a manifestation of everything society ignored.

This isn’t just true crime—it’s a psychological reckoning with a woman the world chose not to see.
